This is a comment from Peter Lennard - Don't be shy -
please leave your comments/answers at the bottom of
the post.
I live only part time in Low Bentham but was very
pleased to see the arrival/expansion/conversion of
the shop called Antiques into &tiques, selling food.
On checking it out I found that they are selling
organic fruit and veg at very competitive prices
compared to supermarkets, will take orders for
newspapers and also sell nice bread. I compared the
price of their smoked salmon with Sainsbury in
Lancaster. &ntiques price of £2.95 for a pack of
Atlantic Smoked Salmon compared with (best price)
2 for £8 at Sainsbury for factory farmed smoked salmon
(similar weight per pack I think). Of course they
don't do the range that any supermarket can do, but I
look in at the shop first even if I am intending to
go into Lancaster, for instance, and note what I can buy
here on my return. But are people using this shop? Not
many, it seems. Isn't it more environmentally
sustainable to buy locally where possible and only go to
a distant supermarket for things not available locally
for a reasonable price? Is there any way that we can
persuade local people to give it a try?

All are welcome to this event on Friday 27th September, 4-6 p.m. in the Environment Centre. It will focus on the psychological barriers to, and opportunities for behaviour change and political change.
